This is a Good book and I'm glad I came across it, something I will buy in print and have my children read along with the Holy Bible, White people need to read and understand this and it will explain a lot, and why multicultural societies don't work and in 2025 we need to reverse course and reimplement segregation and anti-miscegenation laws asap

A "must read" for all young people before they are able think for themselves. Teach them young, before they understand the science that contradicts the misinformation in this book. This is the sort of things taught by the Nazis when this book was written.
This book is nothing more than justification for uneducated people to treat supposedly inferior people as something less than human.

Subject: Not scientific
A supposedly scientific look at race by a man who otherwise did some great conversation work, helping to establish national parks, etc.
Adolf Hitler loved this book, calling it his "bible."

Subject: Racist drivel at its purest
Madison Grant's prejudices and bigotry compiled into one volume, "The Passing of the Great Race" was his justification for eugenics and racism. In a letter to Grant, Adolf Hitler wrote, "This book is my Bible," and he used large passages of it in his own "Mein Kampf."
This book starts with the premise of the superiority of the Anglo-Saxon "race" and proceeds to distort history and biology to support that premise. It relies on such errant hypotheses as "cephalic index" (the ratio of a skull's width to it's depth), eye and hair color as indices of racial purity, and the shape of facial features to divide races into "high" and "low" classifications. It abounds with ethnic stereotypes. Its assumptions are questionable and its conclusions are absurd.
Should people read this? Absolutely. For those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

This book should be mandatory reading for all white people--especially those of school age, and double especially, by those attending Marxist indoctrination centers in colleges and universities. What's that you say? "Racist"? Why, because the information doesn't agree with your (whether you realize it or not) Jewish Marxist world view, which is based on lies and falsehoods, especially the doctrine of so-called "racial equality", of which only exists in a FANTASY WORLD.
Death to political correctness, i.e., Marxist mind control!
